150 hertz means 150 waves every second.

Hertz is the SI unit for "frequency". Frequency is defined as "the number of cycles per second". The word "cycles" refers to a stated number of fully-completed wave transitions of:

  • a physical sound wave traveling through a solid (like wood or bone or metal), a fluid (like water), a gas (like air), etc.
The actual speed of travel of a sound will vary according to the density of the substance it is traveling through.

or

  • an alternating electric current wave traveling along wires or other conducting substances

or

  • an electromagnetic wave - such as a radio wave, a light wave (from below infra-red to above ultra-violet), an X-ray wave, etc.

Note

An electromagnetic wave can travel through in any kind of substance - including solids, fluids, gases and the so-called vacuum of outer space - but the actual speed of travel of an electromagnetic wave will always depend on the density of the substance it is traveling through.

Through most gases and empty space, the speed of an electromagnetic wave is close to 186,000 miles per hour or 300,000 kilometers per hour.

Scientists consider that particular speed is the fastest speed at which anything can travel and it has a special name: "The speed of light".

How do you convert seconds to hertz?

To convert seconds to hertz, you simply take the reciprocal of the time in seconds. For example, if you have a time of 0.5 seconds, the conversion to hertz would be 1 / 0.5 = 2 hertz. Hertz is the unit of frequency, representing the number of cycles per second.


Are there fractional frequencies of a hundredth hertz or thousandth hertz or millionth hertz etc?

Unsure.
